Discover the grape variety: Carmenère

Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.

The wine region of Yakima Valley

Washington's oldest AVA (1983): signature Chardonnay and Riesling as white kings (lively and taut, citrus, apple, white peach and a mineral touch, acidity preserved by cold nights). Supple Merlot (plum, blackberry), structured Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar) and fleshy Syrah (blackberry, pepper, smoked meat) in concentrated reds. Southern Columbia Valley, basalt under loess, day-night contrast (80/50°F) — about 1/3 of the state's plantings.

The wine region of Washington

2nd US producer by volume, on the arid, sunny Columbia Valley. Star Cabernet Sauvignon (~60% of reds): powerful and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, dry herbs and graphite, firm tannins. Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.
